Halfway between Maidstone and Ashford on top of the Greensand Ridge, Egerton is beautiful rural village characterised by woodland and trees, fields and farm buildings and hedgerows filled with wildlife.

The village is popular with walkers and positioned on some great cycling trails as a result of its tranquil lanes and landmarks that include a 13th century village church and a Bronze Age barrow – the unique Ancient Monument that inspired our name.

Egerton is also a vibrant bustling hub known for its clubs, sports and festivals. From the farmers market every Friday to cricket matches in the summer, there’s always plenty going on.

If you’re keen to explore this part of the county, Egerton’s also in a great position. We’re just a short drive from Leeds Castle and Godinton House and Gardens, as well as some of the area’s renowned local vineyards and breweries.

From nearby Pluckley station, you can reach London by train in just over an hour. If you’re hitting the road instead, leave the M20 at junction 8 and follow signs to Pluckley/Smarden until you see signs for Egerton. Gatwick Airport, The Channel Tunnel and Dover are within an hour’s drive with Heathrow not much further.
